[global hr forum 2011] the learning curve: how business schools are reinventing education
DESCRIPTION
The MBA can trace its origins back to the early 20th century in the United States. The Wharton School, established in 1881, by the University of Pennsylvania marks the beginning of the first program. Recently, in spite of their long history, U.S. university MBA programs have become a victim of their success. MBA programs started to spread to Europe, Latin America, and Asia since the 1950 - 60's and have recently started to gain momentum. According to a survey by GMAC, 80% of the 3710 newly established MBA programs were established outside of the United States. 1500 programs opened in Europe, and 1,449 opened in other regions, and only 708 programs opened in the U.S. After the 2008 economic crisis, the global political and economic power began to shift towards Asia and Latin America, and likewise a similar shift in world class MBA programs is in the process. In this session we will discuss how world class MBA programs came to establish competitive programs within the global arena, in the past, present, and future, and see what efforts they are making to maintain their competitive advantage.TRANSCRIPT
